There's a sign that reads "Cycling prohibited, risk of falling!" Anyone who doesn't have proper control of their bike and injures themselves, possibly requiring hospitalization, is responsible for their own actions. As always, the prohibition signs serve to disclaim liability. Riding over the rocky step at the beginning (S3) requires courage, but is no problem for experienced mountain bikers; the rest is more like S2 at most.

The trail is very suitable for beginners, has smaller tables, roots and berms. Great when it's dry, not recommended when it's wet because it's very slippery and you damage the trail.
